George Carlin

If there would be anything to use my last blog post of this quarter on, especially after the spamming I just had of all the old posts in my drafts that I never actually published, it would be George Carlin and his beautiful quotes. This is a man who put some real serious issues in a hilarious way and for that I admire him.

Here I have some videos of his stand-up on politics and rights.

Here are some of my favorite George Carlin Political quotes:

"In America, anyone can become president. That’s the problem."

"Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity."

"Have you ever wondered why Republicans are so interested in encouraging people to volunteer in their communities? It’s because volunteers work for no pay. Republicans have been trying to get people to work for no pay for a long time."

"Once you leave the womb, conservatives don't care about you until you reach military age. Then you’re just what they’re looking for. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers."

"The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments in a courthouse: You cannot post 'Thou shalt not steal,' 'Thou shalt not commit adultery,' and 'Thou shalt not lie' in a building full of lawyers, judges, and politicians. It creates a hostile work environment."

"If churches want to play the game of politics, let them pay admission like everyone else."

"I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death."

"Well, if crime fighters fight crime and fire fighters fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight? They never mention that part to us, do they?"

"You know the good part about all those executions in Texas? Fewer Texans."

"These days many politicians are demanding change. Just like homeless people."


"The owners of this country know the truth: It's called the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it."
